I got the helicopter from the recycle center yesterday at the same time I found the Snap On tool box. This is what I did with it.

Thanks, Nova and Sniper. I had been wanting to make one too. When I saw the blades on the copter, i knew I had everything I needed. It worked out great because
the hand controller is where the batteries were for the copter. All I had to do was wire in the switch and motor. Im thinking of adding a light too.

Nice job, Dog. It seems you can turn anything into something.

That's pretty cool. Really like how you take "found objects" and turn them into this stuff. I'm more of a vehicle/hardware builder, so this
is my kind of stuff.

Bob, I like making big vehicles too. My problem is that I really don't have the room for them. I don't have a favorite type item that I enjoy making. I
just make anything that I feel my Joe may need at the time.
